Hassan II Bridge, Modern bridge between Rabat and Salé, Morocco
Description
The Hassan II Bridge spans the Bouregreg River for 1215 meters, connecting Rabat and Sale with a structure of curved concrete supports. The road surface includes separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrians to manage daily traffic flow between the two cities.
History
The bridge opened in 2011 as a major infrastructure project developed under the Bouregreg Valley Development Agency. This connection represented a significant step in improving transportation links between the two riverbank cities.
Culture
The bridge was designed to respect the Hassan Tower's prominence in the skyline, showing how the city values its historical landmarks alongside modern development. Locals use it as a daily passage that connects two distinct communities.
Practical
The bridge is freely accessible to pedestrians and vehicles with clearly marked lanes for each type of traffic. Visitors should expect heavier flow during peak hours and can enjoy views from the middle section where you have sight lines in both directions.
Did you know?
The space beneath the bridge serves as a sheltered urban area where local markets and community activities thrive away from traffic above. This hidden zone creates a second life below the roadway that most passing drivers never notice.
